| Abstract: | How is it that people are so willing to pay financial large sums of money when it is not at all clear that these investors are especially capable of outperforming the market? This is not the first case of an apparently exploitative relationship flourishing between two consenting parties. The sociologist Pierre Bourdieu has developed theories addressing such questions based upon his own practical investigations into similar seen, but unseen social practices in the field of education. |
